Vertigo Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Me and my family went to one of the last games ever at Milweaukee County Stadium. AS we were leaving we wanted to take something that was a part of county stadium. So we looked around I kicked a crumbling brick and took a piece. So now in my display case I have a piece of County stadium.. I taste pretty good to... j/kAnyone else have any piece of a stadium (sounds odd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I grabbed a chunk of concrete from 3 Rivers. I also have seats from the Vet, although they were obtained "legally."

swooshmd Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I own a brick from Memorial Stadium. I bought it at an O's Spring Festival a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvelethMN Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 This probably doesn't really qualify, but I attended the last North Stars game at the old Met Center, and my friends and I took a bunch of row number signs as we walked up the aisle. First and only North Stars game I ever went to...wish I'd gone to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmorss9 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have an infield box seat from Tiger Stadium before it was remodeled in '77-78. "Hats for bats. Keep bats warm. Gracias" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have a pair of Busch Stadium II seats in my garage. They arrived 2 weeks ago and I still haven't taken them out of the box yet. We have no appropriate place in our house for them, so we're going to use them as patio furniture during nice weather. They aren't so heavy that we can't take them in and out of the garage when we want to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have a seat number from the old Boston Garden. My brother-in-law & I went to the last WWF wrestling show there a few months before the official closing. I had an eyeglasses screwdriver in my pocket, and I pried the metal number plate right off the front edge of the seat. I keep it in my wallet.

hitman1jgl Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have a piece of concrete from Veteran's Stadium. I went down to the site the afternoon after it was imploded. A kid in front of me climbed under the fence and ran to the rubble. I got a piece that is about 5 inches by 3 inches. It is very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cianfrocco Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 My Christmas gift a few years ago was a seat, 1-inch cut of turf, infield dirt, and concrete chunk from the good ol' Kingdome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have a couple seats from County Stadium, as well as a brick. I almost won a stained-glass window with the glove logo on it, but got outbid. I also have a small section of bench from City Stadium in my Green Bay Packers collection....

VitaminD Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have a piece of concrete from Veteran's Stadium. I went down to the site the afternoon after it was imploded. A kid in front of me climbed under the fence and ran to the rubble. I got a piece that is about 5 inches by 3 inches. It is very cool. I got a couple of square inches of the old Vet Stadium turf (obtained legally) and a pair of Vet seats like BBTV's (also bought legally). In hindsight, I wish I had snagged a chunk of concrete. I do have a chunk of the Berlin Wall encased in Lucite, which is also kinda cool.Now that the wife and I are moving, and I get to remodel the basement, I will have a permanent home for the Vet seats. Right in front of the big screen TV. If I can buy another pair, I'll get some aluminum piping and make my own personal field box. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

TruColor Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I went to the last Bulls' regular season game at the old Chicago Stadium...didn't take anything of value with me, but still have the ticket stub and a commemorative pin they gave out.Not that thrilling, I know.

OHLArenaGuide Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I chipped some paint off a railing at Tiger Stadium the year it was closing. I've also got tons of artifacts from the old London Ice House (OHL) including two old seats and three old signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Man...I used to work in Texas Stadium...I should have taken something from there...maybe one of the hundreds of mushrooms that grow in that nasty turf of theirs...that place was really disgusting.

ZBoyer Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I grabbed some infield dirt at Fenway at one point last year, which ended up being the year the Red Sox won the Series. That's pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
